2. yep
to my grandma.

5 hours drive if I am lucky. That is why I took off Friday. So I can leave kinda early (like 10am) and not getting in the Friday afternoon/holiday traffic. There will be enough traffic anyway.

Only backdraw is that I will be without DU for the time :cry: I miss it already even though I am still here posting away :)

6. isn't it great to be European?
:bounce:

The museum and library are open between the holidays but I take the week off. My boss and my co-worker are both here. So the library is covered. My co-worker takes the first week of January off. My boss just had some days off. So it is all sound and fair.

17. I've worked between the holidays
it sucks because it is slow, a lot of co-workers aren't here. So it is quiet also .... I rather have the time off.

23. My money was on the stripey cat
He's new to the herd. He likes to use the outside facilities, but I witnessed him using the litter box today.

I think it's Jesus. He's pissed because of the War on Christmas, doncha know?

Really po'd about my new rug. Damn.

So, what are you going to do with all the free time on your hands?

she lives near Berlin, my brother lives in Berlin. My aunt will be there also. I plan to see the new Holocaust memorial there. Maybe I take a trip with my grandma to her brother and his wife. I am sure the week will be over fast.

27. I've been on vacation since last Friday
I do have to go in today so that one of my students can take a make-up exam. But, as she is one of my "whiz-kids" this shouldn't take more than 45 minutes (if that). Otherwise, I have nothing to do but read, watch movies and visit with relatives until 3 January.

40. Right now, my bod says "Sleep...sleep my prettty!"
I've been busting booty the last few months. But I'm also doing a lot of deep cleaning and I'm actually hoping to get some farm work done - fencing etc.

And I'm gonna spend some time with my kids and friends and family and MAYBE ( this will really make you jealous) spend a weekend on Tybee.

*please don't hurt me* :P

49. You know I will, Darlin'
Wish you could join us on a trip.

I'm also thinking of a few days in Memphis....and we may join some folks going to the coast to do some relief work, but that's up in the air right now.

Hope your holidays are spectacular!:party:
